Ute's Happy World

Monday Walk

Today I am inviting you to walk with me through Rochester in Kent. A lovely historic small city. It has a beautiful Cathedral dates back to 604 AD- the second oldest in England. The castle is Norman and the 12th-century keep or stone tower, which is the castle’s most prominent feature, is one of the best preserved in England.

Please enjoy the walk with me round the Cathedral and the castle. Keep your scarf on it is very windy!

The beautifully painted organ.

In the Cathedral was a display of 3 very old books, one is 100 years older than the Magna Carta and is called Textus Roffenses. It contains a collection of Anlo Saxon Law of Aethelberht of Kent which dates back to 600AD – it is the only surviving copy of the oldest law in English.

Apparently Henry the VIII took all books from the Cathedral library at his time but left this one behind. The Lady in the Cathedral said historians still wonder why?

Thank you so much Ute! Really was a pleasure to walk with you and enjoy this together through your eyes! Amazing photos! Glad I brought my scarf 😉 My favourite photo is YOU! Now I shall have tea and think of you!
